GetLinks: Filling Tech Vacancies Across Asia

GetLinks
is the latest website to help technology professionals find jobs that
fit their profile. Sattha Puangput was surprised when he received
several interviews calls within a few days of posting his profile on
GetLinks. He finally accepted an offer from Tesco Lotus, a
hypermarket chain who was looking for experts to develop Android
software using Kotlin.

Knowledge
of programming tools and new languages makes it easier to build
software faster and also allow developers to work together
seamlessly.

According
to clients, GetLinks is different from other similar services in the
market as it focuses more on matching tech specific skills like
programming languages (Flutter, Docker) and app development, rather
than general programming requirements. This helps meet the
requirements of Asia’s booming tech companies and also enables
traditional companies to find tech talent that they would not have
otherwise been able to recruit.

Large
firms like China’s Alibaba, Thailand’s Siam Cement Group, and
Australia’s SEEK Group participated in the funding round for
GetLinks last year, raising almost eight figures in U.S. dollars.
According to Djoann Fal, the co-founder of GetLinks informs that this
finding will help set up local offices across Asia in Malaysia,
Taiwan, Shenzhen, and Indonesia.

Sattha,
the information technology professional, looked at plenty of other
job sites but was not able to find any jobs that required his
specific skill set. He was impressed how GetLinks matched his profile
with several jobs that were spot on.

GetLinks
is almost three years old. Till date, it has placed over a thousand
candidates across different companies like Tencent, Traveloka, Siam
Commercial Bank and so on.

GetLinks
is an excellent model for how companies can be matched with the right
candidates by looking for specific skill sets. With the demand for
tech skills going sky high in Asia, GetLinks is the perfect answer to
placing the right candidates in the right profiles.

A
recent study by Google and Temasek showed that Southeast Asia’s
virtual economy would reach $240 billion by the year 2025, which is a
fifth more than the previous forecast made in 2016 due to increasing
mobile connectivity.

GetLink
enables companies to look at a candidate’s profile and contact them
directly without having to go through a middle person. Sea Thailand
has recruited more than ten people using the services offered by
GetLinks. GetLinks charges about 15 percent of the recruited a
candidate’s first annual salary, or they offer a monthly
subscription that ranges from two hires for 1,000 to unlimited hires
for $10,000.
